The Advanced Theater Transport
concept - A
powerful aircraft that could tilt its wings to give it what's called
"super
short take off and landing." By being able to operate on short,
unprepared
runways of between 650 to 1,000 feet, it could serve as an alternative
to rotor-wing heavy lifters in certain battlefield situations.

CC&F would ultimately build a total of
eight aircraft
on a Burnelli-based design. The last was the Loadmaster I (pictured
below)
of 1946. The aircraft met the conditions which permitted a Canadian
type
certificate to be issued, but did not enter production. Manufacturing
rights
reverted to Ballard Aircraft Corporation.

In 1991 a team of aviation specialists formed
what is
now called HORTEN Aircraft®. From the beginning we have set out to
design a flying wing for the general aviation public. It has been our
intention
to apply the most advanced and innovative technology to our flying wing
designs.

This appears to be
a site originating
out of Japan that contains a large collection of Northrop pictures
covering
all the aircraft from the N-1 to the B-2. Some of the pictures
may
be large in both file and presentation size, so you may want to
experiment
a little before rummaging around too much.

On June 25, 1946,
his XB-35 Flying
Wing bomber lifted majestically from the run way of the Northrop
Aircraft
Co. and made its maiden flight to Edwards AFB (then Muroc Army Air
Field).
In this photo, taken from the escorting P-61, the XB-35's eight
contra-rotating
propellers are seen to advantage. Four Pratt & Whitney R-4360
Wasp Major engines each drove a pair of four-bladed propellers rotating
in opposite directions by means of an extension shaft and specialized
gear
box. For the YB-49 story, click
here. For another historical perspective by Charles McGrewclick

There are several
pictures here
of the Burgess-Dunne airplane. We hope they give you a pretty good idea
of what has been involved in building this replica. In September
2000 a special outdoor display of the finished plane was done. Several
pictures of that event have been put here and you can find them all
together
labelled "Sept 2000 Display".

This web site is
dedicated to the
Messerschmitt Me 163B Komet, the only operational rocket- powered
aircraft
of the second world war. Its spectacular performance (both speed
and climb rate) and dangers (because of the highly explosive rocket
fuels)
make it a fascinating piece of aviation history.

The Future Aircraft
Technology
Enhancements (FATE) Program was sponsored by Wright Laboratory (WL) FI
in Dayton, Ohio. A subset of the national Fixed Wing Vehicle
(FWV)
Program, FATE was performed to “develop revolutionary technologies that
will become the foundation for next generation
warfighters.”

Preface: This text was developed for a
course in
applied aerodynamics at Stanford University. The first year graduate
course
includes topics ranging from a review of the basic, governing equations
of fluid flow to practical issues related to airfoil and wing
design.
This digital text is intended to supplement a more conventional
textbook
in applied aerodynamics. The material has been composed based on
lecture
notes over the last few years and is continually under development, so
your comments and suggestions are helpful. Clicking on the icon takes
you
to the tailless section. Clicking here
will take you to the basic document.

Welcome
to the pages of this site. Here we will introduce you to some rather
unusual
flying machines, the "flying wings" created by Charles Fauvel. This
design
formula, applied to light airplanes and gliders, has the peculiarity of
using the wing both for lift and for stability, unlike the more
conventional
machines equipped with a horizontal empennage. For the moment our site is in French
only.
It will be tran- slated into English as soon as possible.
Meanwhile,
you can use one of the automatic translators available on the Internet,
but the result are sometimes strange...or funny ! (Site of

PUL-10 - One of the last designs
by Reimar
Horten currently under development testing by the team of Bernhard
Mattlener
and Reinhold Stadler in Germany. For more on this interesting
design
and all the technical data try the Nurflugel.com
page
provided the Douglas Bullard.

Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum's
Paul Garber
facility. This site was visited by Doug Bullard while returning
from
the 1997 Flyng Wing Symposium held at the National Soaring Museum at
Harris
Hill, New York. He took an extensive collection of pictures
covering
the many restoration projects in progress or waiting their turn.
To see this fabulous collection go to Nurflugel.com.

This page
is a display of Huib
Ottens'
collection
of aviation books and also focusses on flying wings and other
interesting
aircraft. This page serves his interest in aviation history and with
this
page he hopes to share the informa- tion he has collected. This page
carries
no political statement but he is aware that some people may be offended
by subjects and/or titles displayed (it is assumed this is due to the
materials
reflecting WW II era events and aircraft). In the future I will add
a listing
of Flying Wing references I have collected over the years.

CLOUD
BASE - This is a site for hang gliders and micro lights like the
Monarch
and Carbon Dragon. Parts of these pages are in
foreign
languages, but much of it is in English and contains many excellent
pictures
of tailless hang gliders and para gliders. It looks like fun just to roam
around
the various sections and view the spectacular scenery over which these
enthusiasts fly.

THE ROHR
TWO-l75 (l974) link to expanded web site on
this aircraftIn
1974, Rohr Chairman
Burt Raynes resolved to move Rohr into the light airplane market.
In order to succeed, Rohr had to offer a product so undeniably superior
to its competition that prospective buyers and dealers could not resist
it. Raynes summoned Walt Mooney and told him to come up with a quantum
leap in light aircraft technology. It must have better performance,
greater
safety, accessibility and comfort, greater economy and lower production
cost than any competitor. Picture #1,

Through this site, Eduardo wants
to offer you some three view drawings in bitmap format of some popular
and other not so popular airplanes for your own use such as making your
own plans for flying models particularly or any other use. He knows these drawings are
somewhat
simple and the lines are kind of serrated rather than continuous, but
this
is bit map format and helps him transfer them faster. You will have to
print them, enlarge them and transfer them by pencil to improve them.
This
is the best he can do for the time being. Photographs for these
airplanes you
can
easily get by browsing in search engines seeking for the plane
designation
or name or make such as: (F-16 or F16) near (photo or drawing or
picture
or gif or jpg), or going through the links down at the end of his
page. So far he has about 196
3-views in
his collection and is always looking for more, so if you have something
you can transfer to him, he's sure to appreciate it.

JIM
MARSKE now has a web site for his products (other than
Genesis). This site includes most anything you
want
to know about the Pioneer and Monarch sailplanes and how to get
kits.
There is also a lot of information about his recent workshops and
probably
when the next one will be held. These appear to have been very
popular
workshops, lasting from 1 to 3 days, covering subjects you can use to
build
your Marske design or other favorate project.
